- <p> DIED. RAUL JULIA, 54, actor; from a stroke; in Manhasset, New
- York. Discovered in a San Juan, Puerto Rico, nightclub by American
- actor Orson Bean, Julia moved to Manhattan in 1964 and quickly
- found work in the theater. In 1966 he began appearing in Shakespearean
- roles, creating a deliciously conniving Edmund in King Lear
- in 1973 and a smoldering Othello in 1979. Julia also made his
- mark on the musical stage, playing one of the Two Gentlemen
- of Verona (1971); a chilling Mack the Knife in The Threepenny
- Opera (1976) and a Felliniesque film director in Nine (1982).
- The stage successes led to the film work for which he is most
- widely known, from the passionate political prisoner in Kiss
- of the Spider Woman to the loopily macabre Gomez in the two
- recent Addams Family movies. Thousands lined the streets of
- San Juan during Julia's state funeral.
